1605 & 1611 on Sapphire 7 - although I get the impression that these are a go to allocation when the 7 branded buses are off.

Yeah the Streetlites are the allocated allocation when there a sapphire pulsar off, there not allowed deckers on there now as they cost more to be repaired if a window gets smashed, and with it originating in Darlington there’s a high possibility of that happening with 13A/13B and Frequenta 2 been targeted again over the past week

One on the 3 today.

1423/8 should be on 7s - the ex-Darlington Pulsars plus 1423 are the intended allocation to retain the NSAs on the route (1423 plus 1456-60 all due to be fitted soon, with the equipment removed from the Solos).

The Max allocation on the X66/67 seems to have gone to pot since Stockton took the duties off Darlington. Two plain Pulsars on on Tuesday while one of the X66 Pulsars was on the 5/5A.

1 branded streetlite on X21
6 branded pulsar on 22

Any of these out-of-place? This ain't my neck of the woods.

Normally the X21/X26/X66 ( all services inter work on a Sunday) is ran by MAN Ecocitys, but as there’s a couple in MAN at Stockton the allocation is all over the place for the X21

But it’s not too unusual

What Stuart said, also from my trip to Durham last Sunday, I have come to the conclusion that the 6/22/24 all interwork on a Sunday as I got the 6 to Durham then it went onto a 22 to Sunderland.
